Sansonnet ejes af Lefévère-familien, som også ejer Villemaurine, Moulin du Cadet og Soutard Cadet. Alle ligger på det kølige højplateau i Saint-Émilion i retning af Castillon. Ren kalksten med et let lag af ler og sand. Altid meget elegante vine, for Saint-Émilion endda uventet fine og fulde af finesse. Sansonnet er en lille vingård med et utroligt potentiale, som er blevet realiseret lidt efter lidt i de senere år. Konsulenten er Michel Rolland-teamet. Fyldig, tæt sort frugt. 2022 er endnu mere forfinet og raffineret end den friske 202. Sorte kirsebær og morbær, sød lakrids, men også mynte og eukalyptus. Fyldig og fløjlsagtig, næsten frodigt tannintæppe med salt og figen, ret spacy. Friskhed bagved og masser af aromatisk tryk. Den fine mundfølelse af sorte kirsebær ledsages af solbær og surkirsebær. Køligt, saftigt flow på trods af den modne overdådighed. Mere krop end i 2020 og mere harmoni, berusende finesse. En meget kompleks vin med mange facetter. Stor længde, kalkstensmineralitet og salt i eftersmagen. Hedonisme og berusende erotik.

2022 vil gå over i historien som en fremragende årgang med hensyn til kvalitet. Og det på trods af, at det var den tørreste sommer i Frankrig, siden man begyndte at registrere den, og det varmeste år i det hele taget siden 1947.

Jeff Leve om: Chateau Sansonnet Grand Cru Classe

Opulence is the name of the game here. The wine is deep, and rich, with layers of juicy, sweet, luscious, black plums, and cherries. There is intensity, depth of flavor, weight, and body, balanced with ample lift, so the wine feels fresh, and alive on your palate. The long, expansive finish keeps on going with its layers of mineral-tinted, fruits, chocolate, and sexy textures that coat your palate again, and again. Simply put, this is a hedonistic thrill ride in your glass! The wine blends 95% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink from 2026-2045.

Suckling om: Chateau Sansonnet Grand Cru Classe

A modern and dense St.-Emilion with rich, glossy fresh fruit. Plums, dark chocolate, fine spices and a hint of olives on the nose. Juicy, with some nicely tart berries and dusty tannins on the full-bodied palate. Concentrated and tight in the finish, but polished. Very well executed. Drink from 2028.

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Sansonnet Grand Cru Classe

A blend of 92% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2022 Château Sansonnet is gorgeous stuff, offering cassis, crushed stone, graphite, and truffly aromatics. Beautifully pure and medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has integrated acidity, a fresh, focused style, and ripe tannins. Balanced and seamless, it shows the terroir’s freshness and precision while still bringing concentration and texture. Aged for 18 months in 70% new oak barrels, this should drink well for 20+ years. Total production: 1,166 cases.
